I post one thread making fun of carl fricken edwards and his annoying arrogant (and not derserving b/c he never wins races) flip & I lose 4 points off of my level.  THEN it takes like 9 months to get those points back.

WTF.

one ny mess : is this the worst mets team ever?

this may be the worst Mets team ever assembled.  and that does not include the injuries that have piled up.  omar minaya has put together the softest, heartless, lack of clutch team money could buy.  for the past 3 years he has continued to plug the roster with older players, pitchers beyond their prime, and an over abundance of latinos (who, if you look at it statistically seem to get hurt ALOT more)

then you have to start looking at the injury issue as something other than mere coincidence.  a few injuries is coincidence, nearly the whole team getting hurt becomes organizational negligence.....coaches making players over play, train, etc.  or poor scouting on a player's history of toughness or wearability.  

their HORRIBLE minor league system is a whole other story.  even the Yankees have a better farm system & they sign every free agent known to man!!

depressing  :( 

i believe the mets heiarchy needs to be "sorted".  all coaches, management, scouting needs to be broken up in order to change this air of disapointment & the team needs to finally be blown up.  


and i don't want to hear "wait till all the players return"  THATS HALF THE PROBLEM!!!  they shoulnd't be hurt so much for soooooooooo long to begin with.   a calf strain taking this long?  a hip injury that should have been addressed LAST offseason?  an injury prone CF who people call "tough" b/c he plays through injuries, but in reality he has 4304830438 injuries b/c he is injury prone.  don't get me started on patellar tendonitis!!! lol. 


the only argument i have is the 62 mets, and possibly the team that produced Anthony Young's record setting "most losses in a season".    at least that team had heart & some electricity (pat howell, dave magadan, joe orsulak, jeff kent)

 
 
About Time to blow up the NY Mess
Even as of right now the Mets are still playing up and down baseball. Honestly, I don't think it matters to most met fans if this group of players manages to pull back into the playoff race. Speaking for myself and probably alot of other met fans, i look forward to the trade deadline and look forward to see our team jetison all of these over confident over-hyped players. This includes Beltran, O. Perez, Pedro, Brian Schneider, Heilman, Castillo, Delgado, Alou, Sanchez. I do believe its also time for the likes of Endy Chavez, Ramon Castro, Marlon Anderson to go. they were great, but one hit wonders are one hit wonders for a reason. Even Reyes is starting to play below his expectations. Trades: Delgado to AL for for low to midgrade prospects heck do it for a "player to be named" Castillo (along with paying half his contract) to contender in DESPERATE need of 2nd basemen. In return we get contributing young player (ruben gotay anyone?) Beltran: trade to contender for top line prospects O. Perez: trade to contender for midline to top line prospects Pedro: trade to contender for midline to top line prospects Alou: don't ever ever ever sign anyone over 35 again....TWICE Schneider: trade to contender in need of a catcher for low to mid grade prospects Anyone who complains about "well then who is going to play" give it a year. Position players: Wright, Reyes, Ryan Church (PCS withstanding), Fernando Martinez, and a number of young core postion players coming up. Pitchers: Johan, Maine, Pelfrey, Vargas, Wagner, Smith, young relievers on way up. its a good start to a more consistant future.
